YAYsports! NBA

Isn’t it a little early for this?
C’mon, we’re as intrigued (well, probably not actually) as the next person about how good the Celtics really are, but ESPN is either borderline insane or just fishing for headlines.
Twelve years ago, the Chicago Bulls set a standard of success that many think will never be matched: 72-10 in […]

Look, we know you’re looking for NBA stuff, but with the Indians on the verge of the World Series, it’s simply not gonna happen.
THAT SAID, there were some great NBA pics lasterday, including the “Kobe as Serial Killer” and the funniest storyline of the preseason, “Ray Allen Gets Uncomfortable When Kevin Garnett Swears”, which […]

We don’t actually think that, but “Anderson Varejao’s Agent, Dan Fegan, is Insane” simply has no flow as a headline.
Most NBA team have their media days today, and the Cavaliers are no exception. Not present are free agents Sasha Pavlovic and the aforementioned Brazil-person.
Both are technically holding out, hoping the Cavs will cave in and […]

We’re about to dive side-first into the NBA preseason. As it usually doesn’t, it’s snuck up on us this year.
And lest you think we’re the only NBA blogger of note to feel a sense of discontent with this whole deal, Shoals over at FreeDarko is having his moment of discontent, as well. Nobody wants […]

Undoubtedly, one of the biggest NBA storylines we’ll neglect to cover this season will be the KG-led Boston Celtics, with their duo of All-Stars, plus Paul Pierce.
Fortunately for you, there are other places where you can read about Danny Ainge’s Brain Typing Wunderkinds. Like Celticsblog (a blog about the Celtics), where we got the […]

(Jack Cobra back and ready to attack, or something like that)
My entire world has been turned upside down in the past few days. First of all, my Chicago Cubs are in first place, everyone knows this. Next, I’m getting ready to go on vacation with the little lady and everyone knows how that usually goes. […]

UPDATE: This appears to officially be a done deal.
Here in the doldrums of NBA summer, it’s nice to have a big old ongoing trade rumor allegedly turn into a piece of near fact.
According to places all over the place, Kevin Garnett to the Celtics is back on. Not only that - it’s supposed to be […]

Just as most Boston fans, if they follow their typical patterns, have between last night and this morning convinced themselves the Ray Allen deal is for the best, we too have re-evaluated it.
Difference being we still feel the same about it - it stinks.
THAT SAID, the Celtics have some options here - namely, completely ditch […]

When we were coming up with ways for Danny Ainge to destroy the Celtics tonight, it never even occurred to us that he would trade the #5 pick (and Delonte West) for Ray Allen.
Why do this? It just makes no sense.
Allen is a really, really nice player and all, but do Ray Allen and […]

The Sonics and Lakers were (regionally) the other nationally televised game yesterday, and Seattle came away with a meaningless road victory.
No matter what he says, Ray Allen is much more happy that he outscored Kobe and got his 15,000th point than he is about the win.
“To me, that’s more satisfying,” Allen said when […]
